Muslims: What is this miracle about Math in the Qu'ran?

Question

I cannot understand it, can someone pls "sum it up" for I dont understand all this about 19's.

Answer 1

The recent discovery of numerical pattern in the Qu'ran astounded Islamic Scholars with genius of the Creator. The first discovery is about the numeric 19. A verse in Qu'ran says, "Above it are nineteen" ( 74:30 ) . Taken int he context of the next surrounding this line, it is clear that the Qu'ran is describing some aspects of Hell, and most scholars have interpreted it to be a reference to 19 guardians over Hell.

For some reason, some scholars searched the text for clues. They found that the number 19 indeed has some significance, as it appeared that its multiples occurred in key places throughout the Qu'ran.

For example, the word Bismillah ( In the name of Allah ) in Arabic contains 19 letters. That word occurs 114 times in the Qu'ran: the number 114 is a multiple of 19.

Scholars also realized that certain antonyms occur an equal number of times. For example,both the words angel and satan appear 88 times, and the words life and death appear 50 times each. They believe this pattern is a miracle that was waiting to be discovered to prove the Qu'ran's divine origin.

However, scholars who are also devoted believers do not take these calculations seriously, and they feel they are inaccurate and irrelevant to proving the message of Qu'ran.

(Some people who attempt to count words and uncover the truth of the numerical miracle themselves fail because they attempt the research in an English translation of the qu'ran. Only original Arabic version would be valid for a correctcount,because a translation is not word for word. )

Answer 2

I havent heard about it, im not muslim. But, if its anything like the bible code its nonsense. They did that to other literary works. I think that if anything is long enough, and you look hard enough, you can find something using numbers and crossword puzzles. I don't give much weight to any of it.

Answer 3

there are so many and i'm not sure of them exactly, but i know for a fact that the surahs (chapters) are all arranged in a mathematical order, and so are the verses, and even letters, i think....it had something to do with the number of letters in the word "Bismillah....." as well

Answer 4

The only miracle about the koran is that there are still brainwashed gullible fools who believe it.

Koran is rubbish, made-up rubbish.

Answer 7

The miracle of numbers in the Holy Quran is really an amazing issue , and some of the Muslim scientists have begun studying this miracle since a short time not more than 20 years such as professor Abdul Rzak Nofl and others , and without the statistics machines and the computers the study and the establishing of this astonishing mathematical miracle couldn’t happen, as this miracle has based on numbers and numbers can speak about them selves so there is no place here to discuss or to show out contrasted theories also there can’t be any explanations to reject it and it proofs without any doubt that the Holy Quran is from God " God’s words " and so we received it completely saved from any distortion , adding or taking any thing of it , that is because any diminution of one letter or one word or on the contrary its addition will lead to the disturbance of the whole system of the Holy Quran

And it was God willing which made the miracle of numbers as a secret until the discovery of the computers , and that is explain the Holy verse which say : ( Soon will We show them Our signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth) , and in their own souls , until it becomes manifest of them that this is the truth . Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things ) fosilat 53

And news came from the western world that the numerical miracle of the Holy Quran was placed under studying and examination also conferences began to be held in the Arabic and Islamic world looking for the scientific and numerical miracles in the Holy Quran, and here you are some of the discovered numerical miracles of some words that mentioned in the Holy Quran ( copied from the book of professor Abdul Rzak Nofl) :

- The word Life was repeated 145 times / Death repeated 145 times
- The word Righteousness 167 / Evil 167
- Life of this world 115 / Hereafter(life to come) 115
- Angles 88 / Devil 88
- Guidance 79 / Mercy 79
- Tribulation 102 / Patience 102
- Peace 50 / Good and pure 50
- Manifest (open in speech ) 16 / Publicness 16
- Iblis 11 / Refuge with God 11
- Merciful 114 twice the word Gracious 57
- Forgiveness 234 twice the word Reward 117
- Righteous 6 twice the word Wicked 3
- Relief 36 , 3 times Difficulty 12
- They said 332 / Say 332
- Man (singular) 24 / Woman (singular ) 24
- Misfortune 75 / Gratitude (grateful) 75

And as for the Arabic language which God has chosen it to be the language of Holy Quran we can find the following discoveries:

If we think carefully about the number of letters in the word "aldnia" which means the life in this word we will find it 6 letters , also the number of letters of the word "alhiah" is 6 (it means life also)

And the factors of life are .. the skies and what are inside them .. and the earth and what are on it so that points to .. .. .. .. and depends on it

The Holy Quran decided that God created us in six days which means six phases and that is mentioned in the blessed verses:

(He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days , and is moreover firmly established on the throne (of authority )... )al hdid 4

(Man We did create from a quintessence (12) Then We placed him as (a drop of ) sperm in a place of rest , firmly fixed ; (13) Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump ; then We made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh : the We developed out of it another creature . So blessed be God , the Best to create !)al moumenon 12-14

which means that the word "aldnia "composed of six letters and was created in six phases and the human being "al-Insan" consists of seven letters and he is created in seven phases as in the verses:

(Man We did create from a quintessence (12) Then We placed him as (a drop of ) sperm in a place of rest , firmly fixed ; (13) Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump ; then We made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh :the We developed out of it another creature. So blessed be God, the Best to create ! )al moumenon 12-14

And we can find that the first Sura in the Holy Quran "al -fateha" which says:

( In the name of God , Most Gracious , Most Merciful (1) Praise be to God , The Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds (2) Most Gracious , Most Merciful (3) Master of the Day of judgment (4) Thee do we worship , and Thine aid we seek (5) Show us the straight way (6) The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace , Those Whose ( potion ) is not worth , And Who go not astray (7) )

consists of seven verses including "In the name of God .. .. .." or "al-bsmalah " it has been considered a verse , and it is repeated in every Sura except for Sura "al-tuba" .. and it doesn’t considered in all of them as a verse ,as for "al -fateha" it is seven verses with "al-bsmalah" and six only without it.

The last Sura of the Holy Quran is "al-nas" or the people and it says : (Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and cherisher of Mankind (1) The King (or Ruler ) of Mankind (2) The God (or Judge ) of Mankind (3) From the mischief of the Whisperer ( of Evil ) , Who withdraws (after his whisper) (4) (The same ) Who Whispers into the hearts of Mankind (5) Among ( or from ) jinns and among (or from ) Men (6) )

It is also formed of six verses without "al-bsmalah", and for number seven it had been talked about it previously ,about some of what mentioned about it , what it brought and what is based on it in the Holy Quran and that was in the collection of the " Numerical miracles in the Holy Quran"

As for God’s adding it is that human creation was in seven phases and the word "al-Insan" or human is formed of seven letters equal with it in numbers the letters of the words "al-Quran , al-forqun , al-Ingil which means the Bible , al-twrah the Holy book of Jews " and that is in Arabic of course , each word of them formed of seven letters also "sohf Moses " which means the books of Moses are formed of seven letters ,and Abraham the father of messengers is also formed of seven letters.

So Is this a numerical sign and an arithmetical balanced issue to insure that these messages and books were sent down to Mankind .. at all his different stages .. and all his doings , while on the contrary we can find that "Al-shitan" or the devil is formed of seven letters , so is this an insurance for his hostility for Mankind in each time and at his all different situations , and he is trying hardly to restrain him totally from the complete and inclusive guidance that God sent down to Mankind in the books of Abraham and Moses ,al-twrah , al-Ingil, al-forqun which is the Holy Quran , this is true , praise and glory to God that says "with He is the decision "or "lho al-amr" which is formed of seven Arabic letters also , and if God wants something He just says "be, behold it is " or "kn fyakon " and this is also formed of seven Arabic letters

He created over Mankind seven tracts as it is mentioned ( And We have made , above you , seven tracts ; and We are never unmindful of our creation )al moumnon 17

And He made to hell seven gates as in the blessed verse ( And verily , hell is the promised abode for them all(43) To it are seven gates : for each of those gates is a ( special ) class ( of sinners ) assigned (44) )al hgger 43-44

In the exact middle of the long Sura" al baqarh" which consists of 286 verses , and if we want to know the verse which comes in the middle of the Sura of course it will be the verse number 143 and there is no wonder about that but if we read this verse which says ( Thus have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced that ye might be witnesses over the nations )the phrase "Ummat justly balanced "was expressed in Arabic language as a middle nation is this a coincidence ? No

Because if there is only a few numbers of signs like those signs we would say it is a coincidence .. but there are plenty of them .. which is an evidence of its scientific miracles , so glory to God Who based or established meanings of His verses

The repeating of the word "worship": it is mentioned in the Holy Quran God’s order " worship " which is repeated three times directed to Mankind at all ,three times to the people of Makh , three times said by Noah to his people , three times said by Hud to his people , three times said by Salih to his people and the last three times said by Jesus to his people... this is a strange secret ..and an astonishing matter .. is it a coincidence? If it was only this we may say so .. but brother it is so many full of rhyme , organization and accurate arrangement

( And penetrate forth with into the midst (of the foe ) en masse ; )Sura al adiat the verse number 5 and the total verses of the Sura are 11, so by adding the "al-bsmalah " or "In the name of God the Most Gracious , Most Merciful "in the beginning of the Sura and considering it as a verse the verse".. the midst (of the foe ).. " will be at the exact middle of the Sura

Also in Sura "al Qalam " which is formed of 52 verses we can find the exact middle verse number 28 says ( Said one of them , more just (than the rest ): Did I not say to you , Why not glorify (God)?)

the phrase (.. one of them ..)was expressed in Arabic by one of the middle of them

and God knows all
